Answers:
Excedrin has worked wonders for me!. I think in your case it would benefit you to ask your doctor though!. It could also be a psychosomatic reaction!. I can't imagine that anyone would be happy getting up that early!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe not enough sleep, do you drink coffee or alot of soda!? It could be a reaction to the caffeine!. Are you eating right!? It could be caused by you not putting the right nutrients into your body!.

It could be caused by your back problems, obviously!. My personal preference would be to see a chiropractor!. I loved going to mine but that may not be something you or your doctor are interested in!. You never know unless you ask!. I'd talk to your doctor ask for a referral to a chiropractor!. They can give you a good diagnosis and show you exactly what it wrong!.

Hope that helped!.

It may be a simple answer!.!. allergies!. I'm not sure where you live, but I know it was ragweed season in MD the past couple of weeks!. My allergies have been horrible and I get migraines every day!. Luckily, its getting cold out, so its starting to go away!. I agree with the first post about Excedrin!. I use Excedrin Migraine and it's the only medicine that helps!. It's my salvation!. Feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

it could be something you are allergic to in your bedroom,,the pillows, dust, animal (if you have a pet in your bedroom) etc!. could also be from lack of sleep or too much sleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi Donna!. This could be alot of things but it could be migraines, in which case there are some really good meds for it!. I take Amerge & Zomig depending on which insurance my hubbys company goes with each year!. I also take generic Elavil as a preventive!. Mine are caused from my back muscles & spine being out of line & things are just wacky!.!.LOL!. The chiropractor didn't help me at all, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't help you!. It also could be that your breathing is very shallow when you sleep & you're not getting enough oxygen!. That can cause headaches too!. Stay hydrated at all times!. Try drinking 3 tall glasses of water when you get them & see if that helps!. Then try not eating trigger foods like sharp cheddar cheese, peanuts, red wines or any alcohol ftm!. Also buy a tube of Headon & use it when you get one!. I use it all the time!. Use icepacks on the painful areas!. I also use peppermint extract & I dampen a cottonball then put abit of that on it & dab it into areas I couldn't use anything else on!. Even on my scalp under my hair!. All these wil help untill you can have a doctor check you out!. Don't wait to long as headaches can sometimes be caused from more serious things!. Good luck & hope this helps!.
